Back out to everyone’s favorite southeast city is a rad little edit by Custom PROduction’s Blake Loughran. He’s got a bigger video in the works which should drop in a month or so. In the mean time, satisfy yourself with this little goody.

A local rider has thrown together this great edit showcasing some of Michigan’s finest longboard talent (with clips of people who’ve travelled here to skate as well). If you like it, please vote for it in the Motion Boardshop contest. Enjoy! If you don’t see anything, toggle HD on/off

The first S.E. Michigan Board Meeting was a great success. Riders enjoyed a cruise through Grosse Pointe, Michigan, and then gathered for a slide jam. One of the attendees was nice enough to put together this great edit, thanks Blake!

This year’s four mile push race saw 47 very competitive contestants. Skateboarders from all over Michigan made the journey, along with travelers from West Virginia, Indiana, New york, and Vermont. The weather was cold, and the majority of the race was spent kicking directly into the wind. A good time was had by all, and tons of prizes were given out thanks to the generous sponsors. The push race was followed by a slide jam, and a slalom event followed the next morning.

All the events went down without a hitch thanks to the great spirit of the longboarding community and the help of several volunteers. The trek to the slide hill turned into a hard and soft wheel jam this year, raising the local standard for freeriding and slide styles.

Having a timed slalom event is something new to Lansing, MI. There were roughly a dozen racers, and stoke levels were at a maximum. The Yerke brothers, makers of Bees Knees Boards (www.beeskneesboards.com) prevailed, followed closely by their Go Green Longboarding teammates.
